I've been using ImageMagick pretty much since 1997, I'm probably biased or ignorant of other tools that are probably available to people these days :). But, ImageMagick still works wonderfully for me, so.. yes it's the best :). Børge Holen wrote: > On Saturday 08 September

Re: [PHP] 'application' variables not available? Alternatives?

Since $_POST is a superglobal, it should not lose scope inside a function() call. I could be wrong though. Also, curious if $args is empty.. what is $num and $message. ? Also.. you're calling a function in your return statement ? On 2/24/06, Jason Gerfen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tanoor Dieng

Look into the SELinux settings for your system, if you have that enabled, by default PHP is not allowed to get that file via the user nobody. If you look into /var/log/messages you'll see some selinux messages. You either need to disable selinux, or set your policy...http:// fedora.redhat.co

Exactly, CONSTANTS are ... "eternal truths" to the program, they shouldn't change, constants should not be changing based on arguments being passed, or other variables. by definition, it's no longer a constant, and a misuse of the define () function. On Jul 28, 2005, at 8:46 AM, Jay Bl

I don't think so. Considering you won't be able to initiate an ftp connection via a form.you could write some rpc type thing to do it, but it'd be more work than just changing your .ini setting. -- Vidyut Luther http://www.phpcult.com/ SED wrote: I have been thinking about a
